Sauteed Yellow Squash With Onion For 1 Or 2 Recipes

SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
• In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.
• In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
• Note: For best flavor use a sweet onion.

SAUTEED YELLOW SQUASH AND ONION IN BUTTER

Steps:

• Place skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt.
• Add onion and stir once to coat with butter. Saute for ten minutes, stirring halfway. Do not stir continually.
• Add squash and garlic, if using, and stir to coat with butter. Continue sauteing until onions are transparent and begin to be golden around the edges. Gently flip and stir every 5-10 minutes, taking care not to mash the squash as it becomes tender. If the vegetables start to stick to the pan, deglaze by adding a splash of water and scraping the bottom of the pan. The delicious fond morsels that come up from scraping will add to the flavor of the squash. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently.
